Bellagio and the "must move" rules

[LA_Price]

So I'm playing 20/40 stud this morning at bellagio and I'm in the second game. I play for about half an hour and then they tell me I have to move to the main game. So I rack up and pick up my chips and go to the main table. The problem is when I get there they are all gone. Every single one is walking. So I say what the [censored] and then then ask if I can go back to the other game. The floor tell me its against the rules. First question is why would they move to me to a game where no ones there?

I wait a few minutes and around 3 or 4 come back. I put my ante in to play and no one else does. I ask them why we're not starting and dealer and the players say they won't play short. So I then ask, "Would all you nits please leave so I can play as I can't go back to the other table." They refuse to leave. I try to explain nicely how unfair it is to take up a seat and refuse to play. Old lady says she "understands what I am saying". No she didn't because if she did she would leave. I call the floor and he tells me it's perfectly within the rules. Well I say the rules need to be changed. I left right away at of protest and went to go play at the Wynn.

Here's an idea for another rule for must move games. If you are physically present at a must move table and refuse to play, and will not leave you are outed after 5 minutes. They can call it the nit clause. Any opinions or thoughts would be appreciated?

Sounds pretty standard for Bellagio's stud game from what I've experienced of it. I didn't know they were getting 2 games going these days, though.

I played in that game 3 handed for about 4 hours in the wee hours one morning.

Random aside - did you get to play (or observe) the 50-100 at all. I'm heading down next weekend!

If the game stops the floor should call back the players and if they're not back in X amount of time they should be picked up from the table.

I haven't seen 50-100 go yet as alot of the players have been playing the 40-80 mix, but I've only been there twice for a few hours so far as the Rio PLO games are awesome.

so then the nits will step away from the table so that they are not physically present.

Better rule, if the players stop the game do to not playing or walking away, that game becomes the must move and the other game is the main game, no player refusing to play or absent form the new moust move game can go to the main game.

Better rule, get rid of must-move games.
